Know the rules!!!

Thanks that is what I was looking for. When it is in black and white it makes it soooo much easier. I was not familiar with the ruling of lying on the back and not allowed to turn over either. Thanks again.

Splute, in the back of the rule book is a page called Basketball Fundamentals...one of the statements in there is that you cannot travel while dribbling the ball. Take a look at those statements - they are pretty interesting...

Correct, I have read them several times. That in itself seems obvious. In this case I was trying to get specific ruling to specific words that states what can touch the floor or it is traveling. At the time, (loose ball recovery) the player is on the floor, they are not dribbling; only in the process of getting up does it become vital. Jcarter sent me to the place in the case book I needed. You'da thought I would have figured out how to reference the books by number sooner, huh... I appreciate the patience and help. I want to do the best job I can.
